Rethinking Startup Leadership: From Team Building to Alternative Growth Paths w/ David Carpe
Manage episode 448236633 series 3578152
In this episode, I sit down with David Carpe, a seasoned founder and mentor, to dive deep into the critical aspects of early-stage team building. David shares invaluable insights on the hunt for the right co-founders and why nailing clear responsibilities and communication from day one is key to success.
We also explore the leadership gap in the European VC scene, where David points out the lack of seasoned executives and experienced builders. But he’s not just pointing out problems—David walks us through how he’s stepping up to mentor and guide the next generation of founders through his inspiring nonprofit organization.
And here’s something that might surprise you: David doesn’t think every founder needs to chase venture capital. We discuss why scalable lifestyle businesses and tech-enabled services present massive opportunities for those looking to build something big—without the pressure of traditional funding routes.
This is an episode packed with wisdom, actionable advice, and a fresh perspective on what it really takes to build a successful company. Don’t miss it!
